Upgrade program

I'm a little confused about this apple upgrade program. I'm with T-Mobile currently on the lease program. Does T-Mobile allow you to go to the apple upgrade program while already under an option with them?

They have nothing to do with one another...once your obligation to TMobile is over, you can go to the Apple Program or re-up with TMobile.. Or just go to Apple and get a new device right away...but you'd still have to finish your obligations toTMobile...

Good question. They might be able to help you with that. That's why they ask for you to bring your current info and phone.
I don't want any cel provider added. Can I do that? Just gimmes the phone (unlocked!) and off I go with monthly payments.
I read somewhere that they will not force you to sign any with any provider.
Hope it's true, cause it will be a long day waiting in line, I think.

No. You must activate with AT&T, TMobile, Sprint or Verizon in order to use Apple's Payment Plan.

You're so right!
Just chatted with an Apple Rep. Either upgrade or new account. But it is linked to a carrier. Phone is unlocked. But initial carrier needs to be kept.
But there are no longer any promises to stay two years on a plan. You can cancel at any time, right??

You will need to purchase it at full retail price if you don't want a "cell provider".

Well it seems that would confirm that you can add a new line and do the Apple Upgrade Program.
